Day 123 "This Beautiful Journey"

If you take the time to look at anything long enough in this world, you will come to see the wonder in it all, and you will come to see beauty in this impossible life.

It is human nature to take everything for granted, to rush through the journey to reach the end, to forget that all we have is this moment alone and tomorrow is not promised to anyone of us.

For most of us, we forget that we may never reach our goals in time, that we may never reach the end of any path we choose to tread upon, and that we might not even see or feel the warmth of another bright day again. This one moment that passes into the next, and then fades into the past, only to be met by another moment that bleeds into the next.

We wait for the beauty that is here, and all we ever needed was to be present with it.

We need to learn to enjoy what we can along the way, the best that we possibly can, for all too soon the sun will cease to rise even one moment longer in our lives.

This life really is a gift if you take the time to honor it properly, if you take a moment to enjoy the moment, and if you can somehow forget about the progress and desires of Time The Thief.

If you try your hardest to give appreciation for even the small things in this life, you might see the bigger picture contained within them.

Easier said than done, I know.

I know that at some point I will lose focus on the horizon line ahead, and that I will take this life for granted, yet again. I am aware of my inability to read all the signs in my life properly, and I know that I will forget to acknowledge the blessing of this gift of being alive and within this body, over and over again; but I am ever changing, ever accepting and ever in reverence to this process.

I carry with me treasures that are only temporary to hold, and the doors that have opened for me, will soon close after I pass through them.

Sometimes what I find I cannot share, no matter how hard I try, and what I lose will never leave completely, no matter how much I will it so.

 Sometimes even the best things can become tragic, and in the darkness is where we can find hope and reason.

We forget that there are multiple endings, that there is endless amounts of

Wonder, and that we can never know what we will find, even if we think we know what we are looking for.

I take this moment to acknowledge this moment, to discover another treasure within myself, and to understand that for me the journey feels far from over, even if that is not the case.

This moment I found a smile, I read a sign, I witnessed clarity, and I found yet

another open door.
